minus-squaregarretble@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·18 天前I have literally bought the last few brand new, 2026 PS5 games on disc. I’m getting Control Resonant this week on disc. If you mean GTAVI, then yeah that’s bonkers. But you can get most games with a physical disc currently.

minus-squaregarretble@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·18 天前Our experiences may just have been a bit different and we got different games, but all of my physical boxes have a disc in them that I can remember. I actually went back to buying discs this year because my brother lives close by now and we can share the games. Thankfully that’s still an option.

I’ll never buy another console again after the accelerated enshittification of the companies who own them.
